Make sure to pick up zstd+lzma support for tor in Tor Browser

We might need to adapt our descriptors to make sure tor in Tor Browser is built with zstd+lzma support as well.

This is the parent ticket and the work, if needed, is done in child tickets.

We currently don't install the liblzma-dev package in the container we use for building tor, so we probably don't have support enabled.

I am wondering if most linux distributions have liblzma5 installed by default, or if we should include it in the bundle.

For the Windows build, we will probably need to build it ourself (like zlib).

I talked a bit to ahf in Montréal and we think starting with zstd sounds like a good idea.

zstd was added in #32991 (moved). I assume it only compiles for Android, and it possibly compiles for Linux. Confirming it builds successfully for Linux targets, and adding Windows and macOS shouldn't be very difficult.

I'm placing this on the roadmap for some time in the future (but not too far in the future).

(Similarly, xz was added in #32992 (moved), but we won't use it right now)

Add magic gitlab keyword.
